Electronic Communications Sub-Committee (ECSC)

Online Response Service (Responder)

The Online Response Service (ORS) has been running for a number of years. The main purpose of the ORS Help Desk is to put the still suffering alcoholic in touch with the AA Telephone Service or an AA Group and provide them with information about AA and the 12 Step Programme along with an AA starter pack.

It requires a team of
volunteers who will work shifts to cover about 20 hours each day.
Training will be given.

2 years continuous sobriety is recommended as well as a good
understanding of the AA Programme, 12 Step work, the Traditions and Guidelines.
Applications will need to be endorsed by their Intergroup or Region.

Chat Now Service (Responder)

The Chat Now Service was established by Conference 2016. Its aim is to allow users of our website (particularly newcomers) interactive contact with a member of the Fellowship for information.

It requires a team of volunteers who will work shifts of approximately 2 hours duration. Training will be given, and responders will be expected to make themselves available online throughout each shift.

2 years continuous sobriety is recommended as well as a good
understanding of the AA Programme, 12 Step work, the Traditions and Guidelines.
Applications will need to be endorsed by their Intergroup or Region.
